Welcome to Wizards and Spaceships, the only podcast that’s about wizards and also about spaceships. Well, probably not, but it does involve wizards, spaceships, and the things we love (and complain about) in science fiction, fantasy, and horror.Copyright 2026 Rachel A. Rosen & David L.

    Cosmic Horror ft. Devinder Thiara and Jesse Scoble
    Oct 15 2026
    Happy Halloween! There's no shortage of horrors, but the best one is the horror found in forces that are so large, so abstract, or upsetting that to engage with them directly would drive you insane. With us to discuss cosmic horror are Devinder Thiara and Jesse Scoble, co-creators of a new comic, Dead Money.Show notes:https://jdstudios.art/Devinder on FacebookJesse on BlueskyJesse’s SubstackMoby Dick illustration with the eyeYour new TBR/TBW list:Call of Cthulhu RPGThe Three-Body Problem, Liu CixinAlien franchiseThe Thing (1982)H.P.

    Are We Having Fun Yet? ft. Peter Watts
    Sep 15 2026

    It’s the 20th anniversary of Blindsight! David and Rachel sit down in Rachel’s living room with marine biologist, critically acclaimed author, and enemy-of-the-state Peter Watts to drink two bottles of wine and talk about theories of consciousness, cigar-shaped harbour seals, the climate collapse, and why dystopian sci-fi authors are in fact childishly optimistic.

    Additional audio engineering by Rick Innis.
